Hotel Imperial in Opatija, Croatia, can host a company meeting, a conference, a banquet or a wedding for up to 200 people in its Golden Ballroom, with an in-house restaurant that seats 250 and rooms on site. The hotel stands on Maršala Tita street in the Adriatic resort town of Opatija, in a building dating from 1885.
Seminars and company events
The Golden Ballroom is the hotel's meeting room. It covers 320 square meters and the hotel gives it a capacity of up to 200 people for meetings. A second figure on the official site, 150 to 200 people, is given in the congress listing, so organisers should confirm the exact number for the layout they have in mind. Audiovisual equipment and devices can be rented, and food and beverage packages are sold separately.
The hotel operator also runs several other hotels in Opatija, and the group lists more than 20 congress and conference halls across them. This page describes only the Imperial.
Weddings and receptions
The Golden Ballroom is also used for weddings and receptions, with space for up to 200 guests. The hotel's banquet service covers a welcome drink or party, a cocktail reception, and business or banquet lunches and dinners. Across the street are the church of St. James and a park with a fountain, which couples often use for photographs.
